If you allow me to import my thousands of solves from prisma puzzle timer, I will switch to your timer. I really like the look and functionality of it.
I recently started doing Multiblind and thought of the following:
Would it be possible to implement a way of generating as many scrambles as I want to solve cubes? For example I tried 2 but Block Keeper always gave me 5 Scrambles.
I also think that there should be a different way of ranking the times and calculating the average because mbld is not about time but about Points. So if there would be the possibility that I could say first how many cubes I want to attempt to solve, then Block Keeper generates the number of scrambles I want and after my attempt I can enter in the number of solved and unsolved cubes. This would be really great because now I only see the time, but when I do multiple attempts I'm pretty sure that I will lose track of the Points I got for each attempt. I think it would be cool if the number of cubes would be adjustable for each session ( so that I will get a session for 5 cubes, where it gives me 5 scrambles, a session for 7 or 10 cubes, where it gives me 7 or 10 scrambles ... )
Also, If the times in a session are really high (like my 20 Minute 4 bld solves) the y axis in the session trend becomes unreadable.
With the new changes and maybe even this implemented Block Keeper will definitely become my main timer Great work DalDal
A few suggestions:
- Allow multiple "Other"s in cube type, and allow the user to change the name of them
- I have a weird bug where some of the times in the session just don't show up: https://imgur.com/HwJzCyG
It doesn't show any times before that, and it's a problem with every cube type, but it still shows me the scramble when i hover over the spaces.
I had just imported them from cstimer, I can give you the import file if you like
Actually they just started working, I think the import was just still loading or something- I'm planning to do a big event update in a future version (1.4) which will allow you to customise events (add, remove, rename, specify properties of them like blind or OH, default scrambler) but that will be a while
- I haven't seen that issue before, do times appear when you scroll up or does it look like something is blocking them? Thanks
Yeah, I understand that, but it is great that you want to realize something like that. My multiblind practice also will not be over next year and until then I will just take a sheet of paper and note all the attemptsThanks. Many of those changes above are necessary for creating a great multi blind experience. But a point based system, multiple times (including drawing them) and other specific multi blind features are better suited for a completely seperate tool that can deliver a better interface. For instance, you don't need the timer to be front and centre, you only need it in the corner, because it isn't the most important part, where you could have the list of scrambles and them being drawn as the main part which you could tick off when you finish the solve. I would like to make a multi blind tool at the start of next year, but for now, you could rescramble (control+S) to get all the scrambles you need. Sorry
Awesome! That sounds greatI have added the option to set the scrambler at any time to a specific event or the recommended scrambler by default for the next version. With the planned event system, there will be a lot of freedom to create relay or subset events. I can't promise I will have every scrambler to begin with for these, but overtime I will try to add more.
Another question, sorry, are you able to just type in times? I don't have the necessary cables to connect to my computer.
Exactly! you can also click the plus in the top left corner of the times listYes, with ctrl+T (cmd+T on Mac).
Speaking of that, would it be possible in the next update to make it so that the header row (the plus button and the "Time", "Ao5", and "Ao12" next to it) doesn't scroll with the time list?Exactly! you can also click the plus in the top left corner of the times list
Good idea, I'll work on that.Speaking of that, would it be possible in the next update to make it so that the header row (the plus button and the "Time", "Ao5", and "Ao12" next to it) doesn't scroll with the time list?
I like the idea of styles, but I think they just act like event subsets. They sometimes have different scramblers and different sessions, just like events. I think expanding events to be customisable is a better option as it can provide most if not all the functionality you stated, while also keeping the existing system and not complicated things further. So for 3x3x3 you could create a Roux event and a CFOP event, and practise in each separately. To add daily sessions, just add a new session to each as you go (easy with Ctrl-N) and your on your way. Let me know if I missed the point or anything else.
